As a tango teacher, dance event organizer, choreographer, and stage dancer, Leonardo has been active in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Italy, and Greece for the past 30 years. He is currently teaching at the TANGO OCHO dance school in Stuttgart, offering dance classes and workshops. In his classes, Leonardo places great emphasis on the fine details that form a good dance connection between partners. In a relaxed class atmosphere, he provides tips and uses visual explanations to demonstrate how tango can be danced smoothly, effortlessly, yet intensely. For Leonardo, a strong tango dance foundation and body awareness are essential for a joyful dance experience. But, just as spices like salt and pepper enhance the flavor of food, a beautiful embrace and active interpretation of the music by both partners lead to an even more delightful dance experience.

About 43 years ago I tried my first dance steps and after about 20 years the Argentinean Tango crossed my way and in the meantime, I enjoyed the education as a tango teacher with Michael Domke and Gerrit Schlüter in Bremen, Germany. I have been living in Crete for about 13 years, teaching in social clubs and in my own studio. The tango became my dance because it allows me free dancing without moving in strict predetermined, standardized ways. A wise man once told me, it’s important to dance, whether it’s tango music or not. All you need to do is dancing!! I ended up for the tango.

Two years after his first tango lesson, being inspired by the magical world of tango music, especially the orchestras of the golden age, he starts Djing. For him, every tanda is a journey full of sensations, and milonga an adventure. And that’s how it plays. Tandas with passion and power, harmony and rhythm … As Dimitris likes to say … “I like to give dancers brushes and colors so that they can paint the floor with their heart and soul” He loves the orchestras of Anibal Troilo, Juan D ‘Arienzo, Carlos Di Sarli, Ricardo Tanturi, Pedro Laurenz, Miguel Calo and Osvaldo Pugliese. He djied at milongas all over Crete, in Athens, Wrocław, Brzeg, Toruń, Łódź, Zabrze, Katowice, Pszów, regularly in Opole and at international events Lesbos Tango Marathon, Alegria Festival in Brzeg and Royal Tango Marathon in Moszna.

Lena Kanellou was initially drawn to tango because of the dance, but soon, fell profoundly in love with the soulful music and poignant lyrics. In her tango journey, she was fortunate to fulfil her long-held dream of creating the musical mood of the dancefloor herself, as she started playing music in milongas of her hometown Heraklion.
She finds Golden Era music to be very conducive to a beautiful dancefloor experience and she loves coming up with tandas that, apart from a musical, also follow a conceptual theme in their poetry. Over the course of an evening, she goes for a balanced mix of lyricism and rhythmicality and she enjoys adapting attentively to the reaction of the dancers and having the feeling of dancing with everyone on the floor.

Manolis has been DJing around Creta for a couple of years in local and international events and milongas.
